After a kill from first year Kaitlyn Saidatcut the deficit to one, Haverford scored seven of the next eight points to pull ahead by seven, 23-16.

McDaniel mounted a late rally, scoring six of the next eight but Haverford answered and won again, 25-18.

The Green Terror started the third set strong, leading 5-4 in the early goings. After a quick Haverford run, McDaniel drew even with the Fords at 11-11 until the home team scored five straight to take the lead. The lead eventually grew to eight, which would stay the final margin as the Fords fended off the Green Terror to win 25-17 and secure the sweep.
